Low Thiamin Foods

Tip 1 : Visit My Reports to check out your Protein Foods history chart and see how you've been doing with your intake over time.

Tip 2 : Make the majority of your choices whole or cut-up fruit rather than juice to get fiber.

Tip 3 : Casseroles are a great way to serve vegetables, but they can contain lots of Empty Calories. Look for healthy versions online.

Tip 4 : Add calcium to your coffee or tea by switching from either half & half or cream to low-fat or fat-free milk.

Tip 5 : Make a smoothie by blending fat-free milk or yogurt with fresh or frozen fruit. Try bananas, peaches, or mixed berries.

Tip 6 : Keep perishable protein foods out of the "danger zone"--temperatures between 40o and 140o F. Two hours is the limit.

Tip 7 : Instead of eating a refined grain, switch it for a whole-grain food and look for one that is higher in fiber.

Tip 8 : Make dinner once and serve it twice. Roast a larger cut of lean meat. Make a second meal using the ‘planned-over’ meat.

Tip 9 : Tip for eating out: Share entrées with a friend. Have one person order a meat dish, and the other order a vegetable dish or a large salad.

Tip 10 : Are you a fan of peanut butter and banana sandwiches? Try substituting other fruits.
